Question

Eric Seal thought the poor dog at his feet was perhaps five weeks old. Sometime during the night, the little female had been 　16 at the Seals front gate. “We can’t just turned her　 　17 ” his wife, Jeffrey said, “I’ll feed her and get her 18 up. Then we’ll find a home for her.”

Standing between them, the puppy seemed to 　19 that her fate was being decided. Her tail wagged 　20 she looked from one to the other. Finally, Eric shrugged his shoulders, “Okay, if you want to fool with her, 　21 ” Eric continued, “one other thing, let’s wait a few days to put her in the doghouse with Tex. We don’t want Tex 22 to anything. He has all the troubles he can handle.”

Tex, the six-year-old cattle dog --- the Seals had raised from a puppy, 　23 he already shared his doghouse with a yellow cat, happily moved over and made room for the new puppy the Seals called Heinz. Not long before Heinz showed up, the Seals had noticed that Tex 　24 to be losing his eyesight. When they brought Tex to a specialist in Dallas, doctors there determined that Tex was already 　25 . It was soon obvious that the little puppy 　26 be a large dog --- too large to continue sharing a doghouse with Tex and the yellow cat. One weekend the Seals built　 　27 doghouse next to the one the dogs had shared.

It was then they 　28 that what they had supposed was puppy playfulness actually had a purpose. 　29 any training or coaching, Heinz had become Tex’s “seeing eye” dog. Each evening when the dogs 　30 for the night, Heinz gently took Tex’s nose in her mouth and　 　31 him into his house. In the morning, she got him up and guided him out of the house again. On sunny days, Tex 　32 stretched out on the driveway, if a car was coming, Heinz would wake him up and guided him 　33 danger.

The Seals were surprised, without any training, the young dog had devised 　34 means were necessary to help, guide and protect her blind companion. It was clear that Heinz shared 　35 her eyes with Tex; she shared her heart.
